Hi, my name is Adam Glass and I hail from the Liu Laboratory at the University of Oregon. I am a chemistry doctoral student. My research is focused in organic synthesis, more specifically in the area of naphthalene synthesis. We are aiming to provide novel and facile routes to a variety of naphthalene derivatives which are useful in pharmaceuticals, transition metal ligands, and a wide variety of other materials uses.

I am originally from Siletz, Oregon a small town close to Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. I am an avid fly fisherman and as such most of my free time is devoted to chasing fish around in the beautiful Oregon countryside. Once I finish with school I hope to join the industrial ranks as a Medicinal Chemist, although I am also interested in public science policy so there may be a career avenue along that path as well.
